CATIA V5i <> Parasolid

The CATIA V5 Bi-directional Parasolid Translator

The CATIA V5 to JT translator may be installed on multiple machines each accessing a central network-floating license.

The CATIA V5i to Parasolid Translator is a direct database converter between CATIA V5 and Parasolid. It enables the user to convert all forms of mechanical design geometry, as well as assembly and attribute information, between these two systems without requiring access to a CATIA V5 license.

The Translator can be purchased as a uni-directional, CATIA V5i to Parasolid, or Parasolid to CATIA V5i product, or as a bi-directional product.

The translator can be invoked in batch mode with the command line interface allowing the conversion process to be integrated into any process-oriented operation. Alternatively, the conversion process may be operated by using the Theorem Unified Interface.

Primary Product Features

  • Converts all geometry.

  • If assembly data (product structure) is in the file, the assembly structure will be mapped between the two systems as well as colour information.

  • The user can filter data to optimize the process.

  • If you wish to visualise and interrogate the CATIA V5 or Parasolid data this can be done by using the integrated User Interface, which is included with the Translator.

Primary Product benefits?

  • Direct conversion between CATIA V5 and Parasolid reduces processing time, simplifies integration, and retains accuracy of the model.

  • The integrated viewing capability enables visually verification, pre and post translation.

  • The integrated data filtering options allows selected data ONLY to be processed, enabling optimisation of translations and time savings.

  • By converting all forms of geometry no data is lost, eliminating the time required to recreate missing data.

  • With over 20 years industrial use Theorem’s product robustness and quality is well proven, reducing your business risk.

This document will focus specifically on guidance for the use of the Visualize 3D for CATIA V5i – Parasolid product. For information regarding any of Theorem’s product ranges please contact sales@theorem.com
